Fix #459 - properly support remote SPI with pigpio

Sorry! Dave's messing around with the pin implementations again.
Hopefully the last time. The pin_factory is now really a factory object
which can be asked to produce individual pins or pin-based interfaces
like SPI (which can be supported properly via pigpio).

capabilities of alternative GPIO implementations or (in future) use GPIO
extender chips. This is the purpose of the pins portion of the library.
When you construct a device, you pass in a GPIO pin number. However, what the
library actually expects is a :class:`Pin` implementation. If it finds a simple
integer number instead, it uses one of the following classes to provide the
:class:`Pin` implementation (classes are listed in favoured order):
When you construct a device, you pass in a pin specification. However, what the
library actually expects is a :class:`Pin` implementation. If it finds anything
else, it uses the existing ``Device._pin_factory`` to construct a :class:`Pin`
implementation based on the specification.

Changing the pin factory
========================
2. :class:`gpiozero.pins.rpio.RPIOPin`
The default pin factory can be replaced by specifying a value for the
``GPIOZERO_PIN_FACTORY`` environment variable. For example:
3. :class:`gpiozero.pins.pigpiod.PiGPIOPin`
.. code-block:: console
4. :class:`gpiozero.pins.native.NativePin`

You can change the default pin implementation by over-writing the
``pin_factory`` global in the ``devices`` module like so::
The following values, and the corresponding :class:`Factory` and :class:`Pin`
classes are listed in the table below. Factories are listed in the order that
they are tried by default.

import gpiozero.devices
# Force the default pin implementation to be NativePin
gpiozero.devices.pin_factory = NativePin

If you need to change the default pin factory from within a script, use the
``Device._set_pin_factory`` class method, passing in the instance of the new
factory to use. This is only supported at script startup (replacing the factory
closes all existing pin instances which can have interesting consequences for
any devices using them)::
from gpiozero.pins.native import NativeFactory
from gpiozero import *
Device._set_pin_factory(NativeFactory())
from gpiozero import LED
# This will now use NativePin instead of RPiGPIOPin
led = LED(16)
``pin_factory`` is a concrete descendent of the abstract :class:`Pin` class.
The descendent may take additional parameters in its constructor provided they
are optional; GPIO Zero will expect to be able to construct instances with
nothing more than an integer pin number.
However, the descendent may take default information from additional sources.
Certain factories may take default information from additional sources.
For example, to default to creating pins with
:class:`gpiozero.pins.pigpiod.PiGPIOPin` on a remote pi called ``remote-pi``
you can set the :envvar:`PIGPIO_ADDR` environment variable when running your
script::
script:
$ PIGPIO_ADDR=remote-pi python my_script.py
.. code-block:: console
It is worth noting that instead of passing an integer to device constructors,
you can pass an object derived from :class:`Pin` itself::
from gpiozero.pins.native import NativePin
from gpiozero import LED
led = LED(NativePin(16))
In future, this separation of pins and devices should also permit the library
to utilize pins that are part of IO extender chips. For example::
from gpiozero import IOExtender, LED
ext = IOExtender()
led = LED(ext.pins[0])
led.on()
.. warning::
While the devices API is now considered stable and won't change in
backwards incompatible ways, the pins API is *not* yet considered stable.
It is potentially subject to change in future versions. We welcome any
comments from testers!
